Delivery Connect

With more organisations competing to provide delivery services and the customer base for internet shopping growing year on year, is it vital that courier and other logistics services can deliver their own or their clients’ consignments on time and cost-effectively.
 
Every logistics transaction, pickup or delivery, results in paper.  Problems can arise due to illegible handwriting, mistakes and data entry errors.  Proof of delivery and track-&-trace facilities often depend on this paperwork, and customer service issues are the inevitable result of poor quality data.

Delivery Connect supports a wide range of logistical operations from point-to-point pickup and delivery through hub-&-spoke, depot operations and asset or equipment tracking. Delivery Connect is designed to improve supply chain management, information flow and accuracy, and boost customer service.

Blackbay’s customers have seen Delivery Connect yield:

  • Reductions in paperwork
  • Improved accuracy and timeliness
  • Lower communication costs
  • Simplified control operations and processes
  • Reduced cash collection cycle
  • Administrative efficiencies
  • Travel and routing efficiencies
  • Improved stock control accuracy

Connecting dispatch drivers to base with easy-to-use hand-held devices, Delivery Connect provides:

  • Automated job dispatch
  • Barcode and RFID scanning
  • Dynamic stock management
  • Proof of Delivery
  • Text messaging
  • Time and event tracking
  • GPS based navigation
  • Equipment tracking
